comment: >
  Proprietary formats are typically used by instrument and/or software vendors to store and process data in specific (e.g. efficient,
  or intentionally inaccessible) ways for a given application. Intentional or not, data encoding in proprietary data formats - to which 
  the specification is unknown - typically results in data and metadata access being impaired or impossible.
  There are cases where proprietary data formats were opened after some time, i.e when introducing a new version of the proprietary specification.
  Examples for open proprietary formats are e.g. .doc or .mp3.
